With respect to the Information Technology Agreement, Council will recall that on 3 December 1995, in the context of the EU/US summit in Madrid, the EU and US established a New Transatlantic Agenda which, inter alia, states "In view of the importance of the information society, we are launching a specific exercise in order to attempt to conclude an information technology agreement. " The parallel and associated industry forum, the Trans Atlantic Business Dialogue, added weight to this political undertaking, by stating that "it is the view of the overwhelming majority that the ITA package should include a commitment to eliminate all tariffs by January 2000, or sooner". On 22 October 1996, as a result of exploratory consultations with a number of third countries and discussions within the special committee provided for under Article 113 of the Treaty, the Commission proposed to the Council to take a Decision to open negotiations with third countries with a view to concluding an Information Technology Agreement. The decision to do so was taken by the Council on 15 November 1996. Plurilateral negotiations led to a Declaration being made by Ministers from 15 WTO members or accession candidates (Australia, Canada, Chinese Taipei, EU, Hong Kong, Iceland, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Liechtenstein, Norway, Singapore, Switzerland, Turkey, United States) at Singapore on 13 December 199,5. The declaration set out the objective of tariff elimination by the year 2000 (and prescribes reductions in four equal steps) for IT products listed in detail, in attachments. Attention is drawn, in particular to paragraph 4 of the modalities to the Declaration: in that participants the Declaration provided "Participants shall meet as soon as practicable and in any case no later than 1 April 1997 to review the state of acceptances received and to assess the conclusions to be drawn therefrom. Participants win implement the actions foreseen representing approximately 90 per cent of world trade1 in information technology products have by then notified their acceptance, and provided that the staging has been In assessing whether to implement agreed to the participants' satisfaction. actions foreseen trade if the percentage of world in the Declaration, represented by participants falls somewhat short of 90 per cent of world trade in information technology products, participants may take into account the extent of territories the participation cf States or separate customs representing for them the substantial bulk of their own trade in such products. At this meeting the participants will establish whether these criteria have been met. " 'This percentage shall be calculated by the WTO Secretariat on the basis of the most recent data available at the time of the meeting. 1 On 31 January 1997, plurilateral technical discussions called for under the Ministerial Declaration, were completed. Product coverage was discussed but the original attachment to the Ministerial Declaration was not modified. Agreement was reached that the first set of consultations on additional product coverage would begin 1 October 1997 and ad referendum agreement was reached on the "extended staging" requests of some original signatories. These included: Indonesia, Korea and Chinese Taipei. New Zealand, without requesting "extra staging" and Costa Rica, subsequent to agreement with the other participants on its "extra staging" request, became participants. The Council decided at a special meeting held on 13 December 1996 at Singapore that a further Council decision would be required, prior to the review scheduled to take place before 1 April 1997, to give a definitive acceptance of the agreement. This would be necessary in order to bind the Community with respect to its undertakings. Such a decision, however, is dependent upon the critical mass provisions and agreement on "staging". To prepare the ground, the draft decision attached is made on the basis that both of these criteria are met. If, as the end of March approaches, these criteria are not met, the matter would have to be reviewed. With respect to spirituous beverages, the Commission considers that the agreement reached with the United States in the form of a Memorandum of Understanding would considerably improve the EU's export potential. The Commission will continue its efforts to bring other parties into this agreement. The Commission therefore hereby submits to the Council two proposals for Council Decisions. * t Proposal for a Council Decision concerning the elimination of duties on information technology products 97/0082 (ACC) THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 113, in conjunction with Article 228(2) first sentence, thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, Whereas in the new Transatlantic Agenda adopted at the EU-US summit in Madrid of 13 December 1995, it was decided to attempt to conclude an Information Technology Agreement; Whereas, following reports from the Commission of its exploratory consultations with third countries, on 16 November 1996 Council decided to open negotiations with third countries with a view to concluding an Information Technology Agreement; Whereas at Singapore on 13 December 1996, the European Community approved the declaration on trade in Information Technology Products; whereas this declaration sets out certain preconditions for the implementation of the elimination of tariffs for information technology products, whereas these preconditions have been met. HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS: Article 1 The agreement in the form of a declaration of 13 December 1996 made by Ministers at Singapore on trade in information technology products is hereby approved on behalf of the Community. The text of the Agreement is attached to this Decision, Article 2 As called for under paragraph 4 of the Annex to the Declaration, the Council: (i) takes note that participants representing approximately 90 per cent of world trade in information technology products have notified their acceptance; and (ii) approves, on behalf of the Community, the staging requests of some participants in the ITA. Article 3 The Council authorises the Commission to submit to the World Trade Organisation the attached modifications to the schedule of the European Community so as to bind and eliminate customs duties, as appropriate, in accordance with the Declaration.

Pursuant to the modalities set forth in the Annex to this Declaration, each party shall bind and eliminate customs duties and other duties and charges of any kind, within the meaning of Article II: 1(b) of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994, with respect to the following: (a) (b) all products classified (or classifiable) with Harmonized System ( 1996) (" HS ") headings listed in Attachment A to the Annex to this Declaration; and all products specified in Attachment B to the Annex to this Declaration, whether or not they are included in Attachment A; through equal rate reductions of customs duties beginning in 1997 and concluding in 2000, recognizing that extended staging of reductions and, before implementation, expansion of product coverage may be necessary in limited circumstances. 3. Ministers express satisfaction about the large product coverage outlined in the Attachments to the Annex to this Declaration. They instruct their respective officials to make good faith efforts to finalize plurilateral technical discussions in Geneva on the basis of these modalities, and instruct these officials to complete this work by 31 January 1997, so as to ensure the implementation of this Declaration by the largest number of participants. 4. Ministers invite the Ministers of other Members of the WTO, and States or separate customs territories in the process of acceding to the WTO, to provide similar instructions to their respective officials, so that they may participate in the technical discussions referred to in paragraph 3 above and participate fully in the expansion of world trade in information technology products. Annex: Modalities and Product Coverage Attachment A: list of HS headings Attachment B: list of products r> Page 3 ANNEX Modalities and Product Coverage Any Member of the World Trade Organization, or State or separate customs territory in the process of acceding to the WTO, may participate in the expansion of world trade in information technology products in accordance with the following modalities: 1. Each participant shall incorporate the measures described in paragraph 2 of the Declaration into its schedule to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994, and, in addition, at either its own tariff line level or the Harmonized System (1996) ("HS") 6-digit level in either its official tariff or any other published versions of the tariff schedule, whichever is ordinarily used by importers and exporters. Each participant that is not a Member of the WTO shall implement these measures on an autonomous basis, pending completion of its WTO accession, and shall incorporate these measures into its WTO market access schedule for goods. 2. To this end, as early as possible and no later than 1 March 1997 each participant shall provide all other participants a document containing (a) the details concerning how the appropriate duty treatment will be provided in its WTO schedule of concessions, and (b) a list of the detailed HS headings involved for products specified in Attachment B. These documents will be reviewed and approved on a consensus basis and this review process shall be completed no later than 1 April 1997. As soon as this review process has been completed for any such document, that document shall be submitted as a modification to the Schedule of the participant concerned, in accordance With the Decision of 26 March 1980 on Procedures for Modification and Rectification of Schedules of Tariff Concessions (BISD 27S/25). (a) The concessions to be proposed by each participant as modifications to its Schedule shall bind and eliminate all customs duties and other duties and charges of any kind on information technology products as follows: (i) elimination of such customs duties shall take place through rate reductions in equal steps, except as may be otherwise agreed by the participants. Unless otherwise agreed by the participants, each participant shall bind all tariffs on items listed in the Attachments no later than 1 July 1997, and shall make the first such rate reduction effective no later than 1 July 1997, the second such rate reduction no later than 1 January 1998, and the third such rate reduction no later than 1 January 1999, and the elimination of customs duties shall be completed effective no later than 1 January 2000. The participants agree to encourage autonomous elimination of customs duties prior to these dates. The reduced rate should in each stage be rounded off to the first decimal; and (ii) elimination of such other duties and charges of any kind, within the meaning of Article II: 1(b) of the General Agreement, shall be completed by 1 July 1997, except as may be otherwise specified in the participant's document provided to other participants for review. (b) The modifications to its Schedule to be proposed by a participant in order to implement its binding and elimination of customs duties on information technology products shall achieve this result: (i) in the case of the HS headings listed in Attachment A, by creating, where appropriate, sub-divisions in its Schedule at the national tariff line level; and 7 Page 4 (ii) in the case of the products specified in Attachment B, by attaching an annex to its Schedule including all products in Attachment B, which is to specify the detailed HS headings for those products at either the national tariff line level or the HS 6-digit level. Each participant shall promptly modify its national tariff schedule to reflect the modifications it has proposed, as soon as they have entered into effect. 3. Participants shall meet periodically under the auspices of the Council on Trade in Goods to review the product coverage specified in the Attachments, with a view to agreeing, by consensus, whether in the light of technological developments, experience in applying the tariff concessions, or changes to the HS nomenclature, the Attachments should be modified to incorporate additional products, and to consult on non-tariff barriers to trade in information technology products. Such consultations shall be without prejudice to rights and obligations under the WTO Agreement. 4. Participants shall meet as soon as practicable and in any case no later than 1 April 1997 to review the state of acceptances received and to assess the conclusions to be drawn therefrom. Participants will implement the actions foreseen in the Declaration provided that participants representing approximately 90 per cent of world trade2 in information technology products have by then notified their acceptance, and provided that the staging has been agreed to the participants' satisfaction. In assessing whether to implement actions foreseen in the Declaration, if the percentage of world trade represented by participants falls somewhat short of 90 per cent of world trade in information technology products, participants may take into account the extent of the participation of States or separate customs territories representing for them the substantial bulk of their own trade in such products. At this meeting the participants will establish whether these criteria have been met. 5. Participants shall meet as often as necessary and no later than 30 September 1997 to consider any divergence among them inclassifying information technology products, beginning with the products specified in Attachment B. Participants agree on the common objective of achieving, where appropriate, a common classification for these products within existing HS nomenclature, giving consideration to interpretations and rulings of the Customs Co-operation Council (also known as the World Customs Organization or "WCO"). In any instance in which a divergence in classification remains, participants will consider whether a joint suggestion could be made to the WCO with regard to updating existing HS nomenclature or resolving divergence in interpretation of the HS nomenclature. 6. The participants understand that Article XXUI of the General Agreement will address nullification or impairment of benefits accruing directly or indirectly to a WTO Member participant through the implementation of this Declaration as a result of the application by another WTO Member participant of any measure, whether or not that measure conflicts with the provisions of the General Agreement. Each participant shall afford sympathetic consideration to any request for consultation from 7. any other participant concerning the undertakings set out above. Such consultations shall be without prejudice to rights and obligations under the WTO Agreement. Participants acting under the auspices of the Council for Trade in Goods shall inform other 8. Members of the WTO and States or separate customs territories in the process of acceding to the WTO of these modalities and initiate consultations with a view to facilitate their participation in the expansion of trade in information technology products on the basis of the Declaration. 2This percentage shall be calculated by the WTO Secretariat on the basis of the most recent data available at the time of the meeting. 8 Page 5 9. As used in these modalities, the term "participant" shall mean those Members of the WTO, or States or separate customs territories in the process of acceding to the WTO, that provide the document described in paragraph 2 no later than 1 March 1997. 10. This Annex shall be open for acceptance by all Members of the WTO and any State or any separate customs territory in the process of acceding to the WTO. Acceptances shall be notified in writing to the Director-General who shall communicate them to all participants. 9 Page 6 There are two attachments to the Annex. Attachment A lists the HS headings or parts thereof to be covered. Attachment B lists specific products to be covered by an ITA wherever they are classified in the HS.
